Chapter 10 Concubine Hui
The expected pain did not come, and General Gu arrived in time and shot an arrow at Wan Yan Ronglie.
Wanyan Ronglie met Gu Changlin's gaze: "Go!" ”
Before Gu Changlin came, he transferred troops from the nearest city, and there were few people who were full of faces, and after losing several battles, he withdrew. This time, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Under the care of Su Wenmei, Mrs. Gu's condition gradually improved. Su Wenmei still often goes to the Gujia garment shop and runs the business in the shop.
This day, Zhuang Xianren came again, the difference is that at this time she has been crowned a concubine.
The Gu family's ready-to-wear shop knelt down for a large time: "See the virtuous concubine!" ”
Concubine Xian was not in a hurry to get them up, but slowly walked to Su Wenmei's side, and raised her chin with the index finger of her right hand: "Miss Su, don't come unharmed!" ”
"Get up!"
"Xie Xian, Concubine Niangniang."
She walked to the shop, arrogantly sat on the chair where Su Wenmei often sits, and instructed Bin'er to pour her tea: "I heard that Miss Su got married a few days ago, but in the end she was rejected by General Gu?" ”
"Yes."
"Huh. If this is the case with Miss Su, it will be easy to cause people to talk about it in the future. There are a few school-age families in Zhuangfu, and this palace can still be the master, I don't know Miss Su, but you have the intention? ”
Scold! This sage Zhuang is clearly here to humiliate Miss Su, and when Bing'er heard this, she couldn't help but get angry, and while people were not paying attention, she stretched out her finger and stirred it in the teacup.
"Virtuous concubine! No matter how bad Su Wenmei is, she used to have a marriage contract with the emperor's first-class loyal and righteous Hou of the Gu Mansion, I don't know if the words of the virtuous concubine Niangniang are slapping the emperor's face or General Gu's face? Not to be outdone, Su Wenmei asked.
"You!" Concubine Xian was so angry that she wanted to get up from her chair.
"Concubine Xian, your tea." Bing'er stepped forward and handed over the teacup, and the virtuous concubine took it easily, not doubting him, so she took a sip for the sake of Shunqi'er.
"This palace is here today to remind you to pay attention to your identity! You, a woman who was rejected by General Gu, don't think about anything else! ”
"Su Wenmei has never thought about anything else! Please also ask the virtuous concubine Niangniang not to misunderstand! ”
"Humph!" Zhuang Xianren lost his temper, but he didn't please him, so he left hatefully.
"Miss Sue." After Concubine Xian left, Bing'er approached Su Wenmei and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "I just stirred her tea with my fingers. ”
Su Wenmei glanced at Bing'er and couldn't help laughing: "Very good job." ”
"Miss Su, it's not good"! As he spoke, he saw Zhirong running over: "Old Madam Gu is sick again." ”
Su Wenmei didn't have time to think about it, so she ran towards home.
Su Wenmei and Bing'er hurried back, and saw the old lady lying on the bed, looking angry. Zhirong stood aside, wiping tears with a medicine bowl.
"Old lady." Su Wenmei went to the old lady's bedside and held her hand: "What's the matter?" Has the doctor come to see you? ”
"Miss Su!" Zhirong said: "The old lady is angry! said that there was an urgent report from the border pass, General Gu, he ......"
"What's wrong with him?" Su Wenmei had a bad premonition in her heart.
Zhirong knelt down: "General Gu has been captured!" Now in the enemy camp, I don't know what kind of torture I am suffering! ”
Finish your face! It must be a beautiful face! How much wolf ambition does he have to spare no effort to invade the Central Plains?!
"Ahmao!" Old Madam Gu shouted twice: "Ah Mei! ”
"Old lady, I'm here!" She approached Old Madam Gu: "What do you need me to do?" ”
"Ah Mei, my son, my son was captured, for my mother, worrying!" She took Su Wenmei's hand.
Zhirong: "Old lady, as soon as I received the letter today, Lord Zhao went into the palace to beg, but Lord Zhao is from the Hanlin Academy, and he has no real power in this, so I'm afraid I can't speak, and I haven't come out yet!" "Lord Zhao is Miss Gu's husband, and he has a good relationship with General Gu.
"Ahh Before you, you almost got married to General Gu, you help the old body, and then go and beg the emperor, okay? ”
"But, old lady, I ......"
Before she finished speaking, the old lady took her hands and shook her hands: "If the old man is in good health, he will definitely go to the emperor in person!" But now, the old body is already difficult to get off the ground! You are a neat child, only if you go, your mother can rest assured. ”
"I'm begging you, okay? Ah Mei, you are a good boy, and I was afraid that my son would drag you down, so he didn't want to marry you! ”
“...... Okay, old lady, you have a good rest, I'll go and ask the emperor! She nodded to the old lady, took the Gu family token given by the old lady and went out.
......
Su Wenmei walked on the palace road, but saw several eunuchs beating a palace maid from a distance. The daughter of the palace had been beaten so that her cheeks were red, and she kept crying and begging for mercy, but several eunuchs did not give up, and they were still swearing in their mouths. She wanted to step forward and ask, but Bing'er grabbed the corner of her clothes: "Miss, this is the palace, don't go." ”
This is in the palace, she is a relative of a foreign minister, and it is indeed very inconvenient to manage.
But he saw a woman walking far away from the other fork in the road: "Which palace is this, and what has happened to be punished here?" The woman was wearing a long water-green dress, her eyebrows and eyes were small and delicate, and she walked with a woman's gentle posture like water, which was very pleasing to the eye.
The eunuchs knelt down towards her: "Qi Hui Concubine Niangniang, we are from the Si Yi Ku, and the daughter of this palace washed the clothes of Concubine Lan Niangniang, so she is punished here." ”
"This blow was fought, and the punishment was punished. Please let the father-in-law stop here. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Concubine Hui spoke, that is Zhilan's blessing. The father-in-law who took the lead said, "The slave, just take your leave." ”
Concubine Hui nodded, and the eunuchs bowed and left.
"You stay, follow the palace to Zhongxiu Palace to get some medicine." Concubine Hui said to the palace daughter who was injured on her face.
"Thank you Concubine Hui!" The palace maid kowtowed to Concubine Hui, then got up and followed Concubine Hui away. Su Wenmei watched from a distance, but saw that Concubine Hui was also looking at her, nodded slightly, and smiled.
Su Wenmei also saluted her from a distance, which can be regarded as having seen her.
......
"Your Majesty, Su Wenmei, the righteous daughter of the Gu family, asks to see you."
At this time, Cheng Qian was discussing with the ministers in the main hall, and when he heard Xiao Lizi's transmission, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a little light. But now, he is discussing with the ministers, and it is really inconvenient to see her.
"I know! I still have something to do, you go down first, let her wait first. ”
"Wait! Since it is from General Gu's mansion, you can arrange a seat and let her sit and wait. ”
"Yes."
Su Wenmei and Bing'er were kneeling outside the hall, and a little eunuch moved a chair: "Miss Su, sit down, the emperor and the ministers are discussing, I'm afraid it will take a while before they come out." ”
"Yo! Isn't this Miss Su who was divorced? What a coincidence! It was Concubine Xian, and she was walking towards the main hall: "It's just a righteous daughter of the Gu Mansion, and she is also qualified to sit outside the main gate?" Father-in-law Li, this is not in accordance with the rules! ”
"Hui Xian Guifei Niangniang, this is ...... It's the emperor's meaning. ”
"What does the emperor mean?" She turned her head to look at Su Wenmei: "It seems that the emperor's family members of the general are really not thin!" ”
"Since it's the emperor's will, then you can sit down!" As she spoke, she turned and left, but a flash of loneliness flashed across her face.
This virtuous concubine! Did she listen to some rumors and deliberately come to find fault?!
"Miss Su, then you can sit and wait!" Xiao Lizi said on the side.
"Thank you Gonggong Li for your kindness. As the saying goes: Etiquette is to the country, such as weighing the weight, such as rope and ink to the twists and turns. The emperor gave the seat, which is sympathetic to the families of the soldiers and the corporal. However, Wen Mei must not break the rules and exceed the etiquette, so there is Lao Li's father-in-law! ”
"That's it!" Li Gonggong said: "Miss Su is so reasonable, no wonder she is deeply liked by Mrs. Gu and General Gu." ”
Concubine Xian had not gone far, and after listening to their conversation, her heart was even more uncomfortable, biting her lip tightly along the way, and twisting her handkerchief with her fingers.
Su Wenmei knelt until the middle of the moon, her legs were numb, and she saw the ministers leave the palace one by one.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Lizi said: "Miss Su has been waiting outside for a few hours, do you want to see her?" ”
"I don't want to see you today." He frowned, holding a brush and drawing something: "I know what she came to ask me for." ”
It's nothing more than Gu Changlin's business. It is precisely this matter that he discussed with the minister today, and he has not selected a suitable person to go to the border to rescue him until now.
Except for Gu Changlin, the other generals knew very little about Hui Hong, and it was difficult to rescue people with confidence.
"It's getting late, the palace gate has been keyed, and the Gu Mansion is far away, I'm afraid that she is a woman, and it won't be safe on the way back. You also ask someone to clean up Mingyang Palace and give it to Miss Su for the time being. ”
"Yes."
There are also precedents for the daughters of princes and ministers to come to the palace to stay, so there are also cases of subordination.
Cheng Qian looked through the crack in the door and watched her get up slowly. Because she knelt for too long, she almost fell when she got up, and her appearance couldn't help but make people feel distressed, and he even almost rushed out to help her: Didn't you give her a seat? How many hours did she kneel?!
......
Su Wenmei followed Xiao Li's father-in-law, and after walking a short distance, she saw a palace, which was guarded by several palace people, with simple furnishings, but also very clean.
Xiao Li's father-in-law instructed the palace people to clean the Mingyang Palace and give it to Miss Su to live in.
Su Wenmei sat in the Mingyang Palace with her hands on her cheeks, but her mind was full of worries about General Gu. The border is bitter cold, and I don't know how he is now.
"Miss, you can have a sip of tea first." Bing'er handed her a cup of tea, but Su Wenmei glanced at it, didn't have the heart to drink it, and put the tea on the table.
"Miss, but you're still worried about General Gu and the old lady?" Penang Road.
"Yes, it is hard to return to Hong, and I don't know what happened to General Gu at this moment, whether his life is in danger." She said, looking at Bing'er with red eyes: "You have been kneeling with me for so long today, does your knee hurt?" ”
"It's fine." Bing'er smiled, slowly squatted down, and rubbed Su Wenmei's knees: "When General Gu was in the Gu Mansion, he was sincere to Miss. But the slave and maid looked at it, but the old lady only thought about her son in everything, and in many things, she didn't consider the wishes of the young lady at all. ”
Su Wenmei smiled bitterly, in fact, she didn't understand, probably since Mrs. Gu asked her to marry General Gu, she understood. It's just that they pity the parents in the world, and besides, Old Madam Gu and General Gu are both benefactors who take them in, so they don't care.
A yellow figure passed by outside the door, Su Wenmei noticed that there was someone, looked out, but didn't see it clearly, thinking that she was dazzled.
Cheng Qian went out of the Qianzheng Palace, went to Mingyang Palace, glanced at her from a distance, and heard her conversation with Bing'er.
"Little plum." He said.
"The minions are here!"
"You immediately ordered Yue Xunzhi to lead more than 20 people from the elite cavalry battalion to Huihong Prison, and you must save General Hui!"
